What is your source for the timing and placement of those cameras? For example, your illustration shows flock cameras being relatively recent in Atlanta. However, that is Flock's home market and their cameras were denser earlier in that area than you illustration shows. Can you elaborate or correct me if we are wrong

The evolution of Flock cameras from Jan. 2024 - July 2026. These are spreading like a plague.

@rahul instagram.com/p/DalL5BRGoW3/… do you believe this one here is fake?

People ask me about the mass Flock disinformation campaign. This is a really good example. Flock never sent this letter, these people made it up (with a forged signature) to try to manipulate people. We are pro-democracy. People SHOULD have discussions and lectures like this.

@texaseattle @glangley @Flock_Safety Thank you for clarification and apologies for the error on the LinkedIn profile.

You got the wrong LI profile. 2019-2021. You’ll notice my profile pic matches mine on X. I bring up the Vigilant example to show how that kind of behavior was viewed by Rick back then — invasive and unacceptable. Axon partnered with Flock instead because the Vigilant ethos was too authoritarian. At the time, Flock seemed like the ethical player in that space. But time and success changed a young founding team. How far Axon and Flock have fallen…

Hey @glangley — I was the head of design for connected devices at Axon when we did the deal with @Flock_Safety. What you may not know is that our CEO, Rick Smith had met with Vigilant, the ALPR leader at the time. During the demo, their team pulled up a random Axon employee’s car from the parking lot and showed the Axon leadership everywhere that car had been. I wasn’t in the meeting, but I’m told Rick immediately kicked them out of the Scottsdale office. You can make a good case for officers (hell, even politicians) wearing body cams because it empowers citizens to watch the watchers. Flock offers no such benefit. You’ll likely justify the surveillance state you’re helping create with platitudes of a “safer society”. But America wasn’t founded to be safe. America was founded to be FREE. Flock is much more compatible with totalitarian countries like China or the UK, and I wish you great success there. As Benjamin Franklin famously summarized America’s ethos of rugged individualism: "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Now kindly get the flock out of America.

@rahul How well do you think Flock's efforts to deal with critics are going? Do you see the opposition going away anytime soon?

What questions do you have about Flock? Reply with your questions here. I may not be able to get to all of them, but I will try to answer as many (good faith) questions as I can over the coming days with long-form answers in separate posts. There is a tremendous amount of organized disinformation out there and I'm doing my best to correct it where I can.

@rahul If you could change one thing about how Flock has handled its critics, what would it be?

@rahul What improvements, if any, would you most like to see that might reduce public opposition?

Flock cameras are going to become the next 80/20 issue of major debate. It is my personal opinion that they violate our constitutional rights and should be banned; however, I am not a constitutional law expert and am open to hearing your thoughts. What do you think? Should flock cameras be banned or do their purpose outweigh our individual and collective rights?

The purpose of Flock cameras is to destroy a legal concept known as "the reasonable expectation of privacy." This "reasonable expectation" protects you in places such as a store dressing room, toilet stall, or standing alone in a field. Flocks are being installed to negate this. Soon a Judge can say "you had no reasonable expectation of privacy" because that concept does not exist any more, thanks to Flock.

There is something profoundly ironic about an $8B "transparency company" @Flock_Safety turning off the replies to literally EVERY SINGLE one of their posts. They can record us 24/7... but we can't even reply?
